Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese room temp
  • cup buffalo sauce
  • cup sour cream or plain full-fat greek yogurt
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 2 cups chicken breast cooked and shredded or chopped
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped celery
  • 1/2 red bell pepper seeded and finely diced
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded divided
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded divided
  • 2 green onions sliced
  • Kosher salt and ground pepper to taste
  • Serve with: corn chips optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • In a mixing bowl combine all the ingredients; keep some of both shredded cheeses to sprinkle on top.
  • Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe dish. Evenly sprinkle with remaining cheese.
  • Bake at 350F for 22-25 minutes, or until cheese is melty and tops is golden-brown.

Notes

  • Cream cheese: We don’t suggest using low-fat cream cheese in this recipe, as it may lead to runny dip. 
  • Buffalo sauce: You can add a bit of additional sauce or remove a little to adjust the spice level. 
  • Sour cream: You can substitute it with full-fat Greek yogurt. 
  • Chicken breast: You can bake or poach chicken breasts before shredding or chopping. For an even easier dip, shred or chop a pre-cooked rotisserie chicken from the store. 
  • Cheeses: Shred your own or buy them pre-shredded. 
  • Tips: Make sure to start with truly softened cream cheese to make everything combine easily.
  • Storage: Store in a sealed container in the fridge for 3-5 days.
